Freelance Writing :
 
If you’re in need of a freelance writer, I’d love to talk with you.
 
I have 30 years experience in public relations and marketing consulting and writing for clients to reach a wide range of specialized and general media.
 
My particular areas of interest include: gardening - both food and perennial, nature and environment, home and family, and anything that explores the historical links between all of these.
